FOX: After recently granting a pardon and considering at least two more, President Donald Trump should also consider pardoning former CIA director and U.S. Army general David Petraeus, a U.S. senator said.
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, the No. 2 Senate Republican, made the suggestion Thursday morning during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, the Washington Examiner reported.
While in the Army, Petraeus oversaw coalition forces during the Iraq War before moving to the CIA under the Obama administration.
But his time at the CIA was short-lived. A 2012 FBI investigation unearthed emails between Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell, with whom he was having an affair.
Petraeus pleaded guilty in 2015 to a misdemeanor charge of handling classified information, which he gave to Broadwell in eight notebooks. more here
OT (Soory): THIS JUST IN (!)
Justin Trudeau’s eyebrow outs itself as a younger John Brennan brow ridge merkin. Film at eleven.
Get on this. GET ON THIS! STOP THE PRESSES!
I disagree, Patraeus was not framed or set up. He was guilty as charged. I hope we don’t hear any more about muhammad ali either. General Flynn the other hand I would endorse.
He screwed the pooch giving classified information and screwed his Jr. Officer biographer.
Being a member of the ruling elite the sentencing he received under the two tiered judicial system was quite liberal.
No pardon for Petraeus.
Swampies looking for cash and prizes for swampies (emeritus and otherwise)? It’s a New Day™ in swampland.
Petraeus knows the truth of Benghazi and is still covering up for the gun running to ISIS purpose of the consulate. He’s also covering up for who gave the stand down order.
Until he shows himself loyal to the Constitution instead of the swamp, he deserves no pardon.
OK. Petraeus fucked up. Got stuck in a honey trap and at his age he should have known better. But the lefties already had a hardon for him. He gave them handle and they grabbed it.
I reckon Cankles did more significant damage to US interests, and she’s still fluttering about, free as a bird. Or a diseased bat.
Nope.
Justice needs to be served.
Petraus leaked classified information to impress and bed a women writing a book about him. The only thing he deserves is to be in prison and lose his retirement pension.
